Hey I’m Justin with AmericanMuscle.com and I’m checking out this hood scoop option from MMD fitting all 05-09 Mustangs, available in your choice of either pre painted, or unpainted. If you didn’t know, MMD is an industry leader in producing a wide variety of styling accessories for your Mustang, designed to separate your ride from the rest. This scoop from MMD is for the Mustang owner who is looking to give his or her S197 a look similar to the hood scoop found on all 07-09 California specials. If you’re familiar with these cars, then you know they had some subtle styling differences when compared to other models, but those differences were enough to separate the California specials from other models, thanks to styling parts like this hood scoop. This hood was designed using original Ford CAD data, to achieve a fit that really does suit the hood of the S197 perfectly. As for the construction, MMD went with an extremely lightweight and durable ABS plastic construction for the build, that again is offered in two different finish options. If you’re looking to save a few bucks and you have a connection with your local paint shop, then the unpainted choice may be a better option, however if you’re the majority of Mustang owners out there, and you know how much of a pain it is to have parts sprayed and get it matched correctly, then you should definitely check out one of our pre painted options. You can check out a complete list of the color options available for this particular scoop by clicking the link below and going to AmericanMuscle.com, and see for yourself. All of our pre painted parts do get sprayed right here at AmericanMuscle headquarters, using the same base and clear coat that Ford uses on their Mustangs, so basically you can expect a perfect color match right out of the box. The package includes everything you see here, including the scoop itself, the grille insert, the drilling template, 3M automotive tape, 3M adhesion promoter, alcohol prep pads, and finally the installation hardware. You will have to drill a few holes into your hood to get this scoop installed properly, once you do have your holes drilled, go ahead and move over to the back side of the scoop and start to prep that first using the alcohol prep pads and then the 3M adhesion promoter. After that go ahead and install the 3M tape to both the back side of the scoop itself, and to the grille insert, install that grille insert onto the scoop, and then place that scoop on the hood surface, go ahead and tighten up the hardware underneath the hood, and you should be good to go. I know it’s a little daunting drilling into your hood, but you should have total confidence thanks to the included template, that should allow you to get this job done in about an hour’s time from start to finish. So if you’re looking to add a little more muscle to the hood of your S197, that is reminiscent of the 07-09 California specials, then be sure to check out one of these hood scoop options from MMD, available at AmericanMuscle.com, and if you want to check out the rest of MMD’s lineup, go ahead and click the link below or up in the corner to subscribe to our YouTube channel, and keep an eye out for the newest and coolest parts available for your late generation Mustang.

Hi, what are the dimension of the scoop???
I just want to find out a right one that fit in my mustang , I got and used hood but with some holes for a previous scoop ( 13 1/4 inch x 18 1/4) and I want to cover tor match those holes with a new scoop...

On the side of the front quarter panels I have silver flames then, on top, on my hood, I have stripes. I have two skinny ones on the side of my hood and a thicker stripe in going up the center of my car. I bought my car this way and I've always wanted a vented hood. Would I be able to get a silver stripe of this hood scoop?

Unfortunately, we do not offer the MMD Hood Scoop with stripes. However, a body shop should be able to match the stripes you have on your car currently.

Ok I'm totally confused. I see TWO different drill template designs here. One that attaches to the spray nozzles on your hood and one that is in two pieces that you have to do some measuring. I called customer support and now they say you don't have to drill at all. They say it uses nothing but 3m tape. Which is it!?!?!?!?!

I bought this so I'll answer my own question:
The website has TWO DIFFERENT instructions for installation. Follow the PDF. The other listed is for American Muscle's hood scoop. Not MMD.

First off, I would like to say that it makes a big difference in the looks of the car. The paint is spot on. That was the good. Now the bad. If you drill the holes according to the template it won't fit properly. I highly recommend that you measure the distance from stud to stud and adjust accordingly. You will thank me later. Make sure that when you put the scoop together you take your time or it won't seat properly and it won't be flush like it supposed to be. I will also recommend that you put some 3M tape on the corners in the rear of the scoop because it won't seat completely. Take your time. Make sure that you have a good drill set including the step kind for the underside. Trust me.

Paint color is spot on, solid product, great quality. The instructions tell you to drill 4 holes for screws to go through. two closest to the windshield, and two a couple inches back. It then tells you from inside the hood, to drill out 1/2 through one layer on the holes closest to windshield. Done. Throw the tape on, line it up, put the bolts on the scoop through the holes. Perfect fit. No this is where my dumb a5s forgot to use common sense. The 1/2 hole on the inside is so you can get the nut and a ratchet through. BUT THE INSTRUCTIONS NEVER SAID TO DO THE OTHER TWO HOLES. I admit, it's my fault, I shouldve have followed blindly, but still. So at this point, I cant take it off because of the tape, so i tried my best to drill the hole out with the screw right there. Didnt go great, but oh well. It's mostly on and looks great. Still gets a thumbs up, just dont forget to use your head, not just instructions! ;)

This isn't some cheap flimsy piece of ABS plastic. This is an outstanding scoop that looks like an OEM part. The directions were very easy to understand and the template was spot on. The only way this could have been easier is if someone else put it on. It really fits great. The paint I choose was just a rattle can of black satin which came out way better than I thought I could do. If you want to add a scoop to your Stang get this one!

What you see on the video looks very easy, the template is off, so measure twic. Video shows about 6 or 8 screw to drill on your hood, I got one with only 4, no biggie. I moticed when I was reading other reviews, was about how short the bolts are. I thought it can happen to me, well, it did, they are way to short and you can install it they want you to, you will have to modify it. You can't get the thread started. That was my only issue. Be prepared.

I experienced a few bumps in the road (1) One of the 8.5" 3m tapes was missing completely right out of the box. (2) The posts are not NEARLY long enough. The instructions state to drill out 1/2" holes under the front two screws (to fit the nut and washer to the scoop) but I had to do the same for the back two because the posts were not protruding from the 1/4" holes at all (3) The website has TWO DIFFERENT instructions for installation. Follow the PDF. The other listed is for American Muscle's hood scoop. Not MMD. (4) Use touch up paint on the holes you drill if you live in the rust belt like I do.
Other than those issues The scoop is beautiful.

Use your brain and be methodical about this build. First, I only received 3 of the 4 snap style bolts in the package. Upon inspection I decided right away to use beefier and longer bolts anyway ( the supplied bolts are too short and wimpy ) . The cross hairs on the template do not line up correctly. The ack cross hairs are fine, but the front are 1/4" off. On my hood configuration I had to drill thru a total of 4 cross beams ( hence the longer bolts than supplied). Do not drill the holes at 1/2" all the way through hood just thru the cross beams for access points to secure bolts. I JB Welded the bolts into the scoop for added strength and this worked out well. Fit was awesome. Paint match was spot on. Overall very easy, just take it slow.

Fast shipping. Perfect color match. Looks great! Couldn't be happier with the way it changes the look of the car. The only advice I have is when you drill the 2nd panel holes is too drill them a little bigger than what it shows you'll thank me later, just make sure you give yourself enough room to get your socket up there to tighten the nut and you'll be good! Thanks AM as always! And also just take your time on the install.

MMD hood scoop a good fit. requires you to drill 4 holes in your hood.install was easy with fresh drill bits requires half inch hole on inside only of hood don't drill all the way through half inch hole is required to place nut on underside of hood scoop,the front two screws are drilled through a cross member support requiring access. The back two screws line up perfectly with the existing holes.very small to marginal gap in the front corner of hood scoop overall fits 99 out of 100 percent.

Since adding the ProCharger I had decided I needed more air coming in to the engine, so I I had the MMD hood scoop made functional. I had a local Body shop do the work and it looks awesome! Also it did what I expected it would which is run even cooler! Thanks again American Muscle! :-)

This MMD hood scoop makes my stang look lean & mean. I'm not sure what the others are talking about, I used the supplied template, and the holes matched perfect. The paint matched my alloy paint perfect. I really couldn't be more happy. Took less than an hour to install. There is a slight gap at the back corners which surprises me since it fits so perfect everywhere els. Might use a very small bead of black silicone to fill the gap. You can't see it unless your sitting eye level in the car. Still a 5* product.

I don't care what they say, the screws will not line up. With a slight curve of the hood, when you try to place it down on the hood of the car, the screws will NOT all line up. Would be nice if they made them a little longer. Also, to remove the heat shield from under the hood is not so easy. They do not remove with just a screw driver and pop out like suggested. We ended up tearing ours off because they would not come out and most broke off. It looks great once on but we were only able to attach with four of the seven screws and the adhesive tape.

Installed on my gt in less then an hour. Everything goes well according to instructions. Just make sure when you put the 3m tape on, it is where you want it. Don't try to take it off, as it will stretch and no longer by the length you need. I did that. it will hold fine, but I have a tiny gap where the tape stretched. Might have to remove and reinstall new tape, otherwise it looks good.

Very nice air scoop. Well made and color was perfect. It fit well, however alittle double sided tap on each back corner would help make it fit perfect. As allot of others have said, the template is off. The back holes are right on, but the front holes are 1/4 inch off. Overall great product and I am very happy with it.
